Evolution is science fiction🤯

That’s just word salad. It doesn’t actually mean anything. What he’s trying to say is that because scientists can be wrong we shouldn’t trust science.

What he doesn’t explain was what they got wrong. Most of the thing science gets wrong isn’t something like “well we thought gravity exists, now it doesn’t, so we scrap it”. No. Science evolves as we learn more about it. That’s the beautiful thing about the scientific community. We learn things but we don’t just stop after we think we’re right. We keep digging and if we’re wrong we correct it and the cycle continues over and over.

Now, with religion, it’s the opposite(at least with creationism). You read a book written thousands of years ago and believe it whole-heartedly, and when any evidence comes up that you’re wrong you backtrack and try to keep the same argument while changing the reasoning of it.

Science works in a way that allows for change. It embraces it. Creationism crumbles under any kind of criticism that is based in fact(which, of course, would be debated over and over with outdated facts or conjecture).

The mental hoops and cognitive dissonance Eric has to jump through here is amazing - believing a book 2000yrs old over demonstrable science, talking about fiction without noticing the irony, his general deliberate 'misunderstanding' of basic evolutionary principals and his general ignorance about how science works!

He doesn’t understand how science works and his 90% number is pure nonsense.

All this proves is that people shouldn't believe other people just at their word.
They should look at the evidence that supports the claim.
Evolution is change in allele frequency over time.
Even dogs prove this.

Also, this can be turned around on the theist.
Thousands of years ago, people believed in other gods (Roman, Greek, Etc) and those are no longer believed to be true.
Etc etc
From this we can conclude we shouldn't believe in the Christian God, right?
